Moss Apparel and Ethical Supply Chain

How Moss Apparel and Gildan Are Leading the Way as Ethical Suppliers

At Moss Apparel, our mission goes far beyond creating eye-catching designs inspired by nature and outdoor adventure—we’re also committed to doing business the right way. That’s why we’ve chosen to work with partners like Gildan, a global leader in ethical and sustainable apparel manufacturing. Together, we’re helping to reshape the fashion industry with transparency, responsibility, and care for both people and the planet.

Why Ethical Sourcing Matters

The apparel industry is known for its environmental footprint and labor issues. At Moss Apparel, we believe every purchase is a vote for the kind of world we want to live in. Ethical sourcing isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. By choosing partners who prioritize human rights, safe working conditions, and sustainable production, we can offer products that not only look good, but do good.

Gildan: A Leader in Responsible Manufacturing

Gildan is one of the world’s largest vertically integrated apparel manufacturers. That means they control every stage of the production process—from spinning the cotton to sewing the final garment—which gives them greater oversight into sustainability and labor practices.

Here’s why Gildan stands out:

  • Respect for Workers: Gildan’s factories operate under some of the strictest labor standards in the industry. They are WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certified and regularly audited to ensure safe, respectful, and fair conditions.

  • Environmental Stewardship: Gildan has been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for multiple years. They use water responsibly, treat wastewater, and reduce energy consumption through innovations like biomass steam generation and solar energy.

  • Sustainable Materials: Gildan uses ethically harvested cotton and invests in sustainable sourcing practices. They also recycle nearly 100% of textile waste during production.

Moss Apparel: Rooted in Purpose

As a brand born from a love of wild places and outdoor adventure, Moss Apparel is built on a foundation of sustainability, simplicity, and care. Here’s how we bring that to life:

  • Eco-Conscious Materials: Our products are made from organic cotton and recycled polyester blends whenever possible. These materials reduce the need for virgin plastics and harmful farming practices.

  • Giving Back: We donate 1% of profits to climate-focused nonprofits working on reforestation, clean water, and carbon reduction. Every purchase contributes to real-world impact.

  • Slow Fashion Ethos: We design with intention—offering timeless pieces that reflect natural beauty and durability. This helps reduce the environmental toll of fast fashion.

Transparency and Trust

We believe in showing our work. By partnering with companies like Gildan, who publish detailed annual sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports, we ensure that our supply chain is transparent and trustworthy.

We also keep our community informed—because when you wear Moss Apparel, we want you to feel good knowing your clothes were made with integrity.

The Road Ahead

Our journey is just beginning. As we grow, we’ll continue to seek out the most responsible suppliers, experiment with greener materials, and find new ways to give back. Because at Moss Apparel, ethics aren’t an afterthought—they’re stitched into every thread.
